Chapter 2 Inn
It was almost May, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and the lilacs in the yard were in full bloom. Although it had not reached the level of scorching heat, it would still feel stuffy if one stayed outdoors for a long time. However, for Shen Yuqing at the moment, his body did not feel any discomfort.
Shen Yuqing felt a cool breeze as soon as he stepped into the lobby of the inn. In a few days, this inn would surely become a very popular summer resort. However, based on the inn's current location, it was still unknown whether it could receive guests.
There are good ways to be quiet, and there are good ways to be lively. Shen Yuqing can sum up her attitude towards this in two words: go with the flow.
The lobby of the inn is neat and tidy, and the tables and chairs are made of high-quality wood. The tea sets on the table are as white as jade, and you can tell they are of great value just by looking at their appearance.
There is a curtain door on each side of the lobby. Through the curtain door is a corridor that can accommodate two people side by side. The vertical corridor leads to three guest rooms. The structure on both sides of the first floor is the same. The six guest rooms are not large in size but are enough for guests to rest.
There are eight guest rooms on the second floor, which are generally more spacious than those on the first floor. There are four guest rooms on the third floor. These four rooms are spacious and bright, and the interior decoration is more refined. Shen Yuqing chose a guest room closer to the stairs as her own room.
There is a staircase on the left side of the lobby counter, and a curtain door behind the right side. Behind the door is a short corridor that leads to the back hall and kitchen.
In addition to passing through the hall, you can also go directly to the back hall along the front yard. The well, stable, firewood room, utility room, etc. are all in the back hall.
There are houses on both sides of the front yard. In addition to the house where the innkeepers live, there are also shops that can accommodate eight to twelve people.
After briefly understanding the layout of the inn, Shen Yuqing sat down at the counter and took out the small medical kit he had just obtained from his game backpack.
The entire medical kit was a wooden box. Shen Yuqing opened it and after seeing the items inside, he closed the lid again. After hesitating for a few seconds, he opened the box again uncertainly. After finding that the items inside had not changed, Shen Yuqing was sure that he was not mistaken.
The medicines in the box are categorized simply. Several small medicine bottles are labeled with the effects of the medicines, including anti-allergic drugs, painkillers, antidiarrheal drugs, cold medicines, antipyretics, and cough and phlegm medicines. In addition to these six types of medicines, a box of Band-Aids is also included.
Although coming here was a magical thing, Shen Yuqing still had a strong desire to complain after seeing the Band-Aid with Hello Kitty pattern. With complicated emotions, Shen Yuqing opened the medicine bottle marked with antipyretic medicine, and after seeing the ibuprofen capsule in the palm of his hand, he had a feeling that it was as he expected.
It's not impossible. After all, no one has stipulated that ibuprofen capsules cannot appear in ancient inns.
At the same time, Shen Yuqing thought that he was not cautious enough. When the words "director of a mental hospital" or "medical kit" appeared, he should have known that his golden finger was not serious.
Game panel: I'm shy, thank you for the compliment!
Shen Yuqing continued to look at the game panel, and the task bar on the left had been updated.
【New store opening, please entertain at least one guest. 】
【New store opening, please hire at least one employee. 】
........
Shen Yuqing once again ignored the task panel and moved his eyes to the sign-in interface, which appeared after he named the inn. He tried to click on the sign-in button, and soon the four big words "Sign-in Successful" appeared on the screen, and at the same time a gift box was shaking.
As the gift box shakes, the items inside the box appear on the screen.
[A red-dusted concubine smiled, but no one knew that it was the lychees coming. ]
The sign-in reward has been saved in the backpack.
Looking at the five kilograms of extra lychees in the game backpack, perhaps the poem really came true. When Shen Yuqing tried to take out the lychees, two options popped up on the game panel, one was unpeeled and the other was peeled.
When taken out in the unpeeled state, they look like the lychees we usually see, with green and red alternating skin and the round shape of the lychees, which can easily arouse people's desire to taste them. The peeled lychees are placed in a container with ice cubes under the lychees, and a white jade spoon is also included.
After checking the sign-in rewards, Shen Yuqing seemed to have thought of something. He flipped through the game panel casually and muttered to himself, "No novice gift pack?"
"Generally, there will be big gift packs for novices when playing games. Even inferior games will use gift packs to retain players. It's in the corner, can't you see it?" Shen Yuqing continued, frowning slightly as if he really thought he didn't find the gift pack.
The game panel seemed to flash, and soon the label of the novice gift pack appeared in the lower right corner.
"Hey, it's here. I didn't notice it just now." Shen Yuqing's eyes flashed with surprise. He took the click gift package and then smiled faintly.
[One thousand silver, two good horses (already put in the stable), seven days' worth of food, three jars of spring wine. ]
Shen Yuqing looked at the novice gift pack that seemed to have been hastily put together with an unclear expression, but a faint smile was still on his face. After all, even if he wanted to fleece the sheep, he had to give them time to grow more wool. There was no rush, he had time.
He clicked on the detailed introduction of Chungui wine. Although all three types of wine are called Chungui, their main ingredients are different. They are brewed with magnolia flowers, peach flowers, and pear flowers respectively. The only thing in common between these three flowers is that they all bloom in spring. This may be the reason why the system named this Santan wine Chungui.
Shen Yuqing placed the Three Altars of Spring Return Wine on the shelf behind the counter, and then he moved to the back hall. It is said that one can travel the world on horseback and with a sword. Shen Yuqing was very interested in the two fine horses in the gift package. Although his physical fitness has improved, if he wants to go to the nearby town, riding a horse is always easier than walking on his own two legs.
In the stable, there were two men, one black and one gray. One was baring its teeth, and the other was pointing its nose at Shen Yuqing, looking extremely "intelligent".
Shen Yuqing still maintained his perfect smile, but who could tell him why the two donkeys were called good horses.
Shen Yuqing, who had prepared herself mentally, tried to approach the two donkeys in front of her, but the two donkeys snorted and looked at Shen Yuqing with contempt, turning their heads to eat the grass without raising them. Shen Yuqing did not get angry, but took out a bright red apple from her system backpack. After noticing the apple, the grass in the donkeys' mouths suddenly lost its fragrance. Shen Yuqing continued to smile gently, and then, under the eager gazes of the two donkeys, she took the first bite.
After Shen Yuqing finished eating the apple, the two donkeys lost their arrogance at all. Instead, they looked silly and cute and wanted to get close to her. Perhaps they already knew that the person in front of them had the power over their food.
Shen Yuqing applied the principle of hitting someone with a stick and giving them a date very well. He took out two apples and shared them with the two toothy donkeys. Then he touched their fur as he wished, and it felt unexpectedly good.
Shen Yuqing casually touched the donkey and felt like eating dumplings stuffed with donkey meat and mushrooms.
The donkey, which was still eating the apple, had a hint of doubt in its eyes as if it sensed something. The puzzled donkey continued to savor the taste of the apple.
